At their arraignment, Trooper Nicholas Pelc said the two ran into the woods to get away from Bense, and troopers in a helicopter located them. He said troopers then entered the woods and Elliott and Updyke cooperated. Pelc said he could not comment further on the case.

District Judge Joseph Cannoni of Windber arraigned the two around 5 the same afternoon, and both were remanded to Somerset County Jail. Cannoni set Elliott's bail bond at $10,000 and Updyke's bail bond at $5,000.
